The Last and Best of All Creations: Woman as a Divine Vessel in the Hand of God

By Edith Chima-Orji

The woman happens to be a new creature designed and created by God. When God created the heavens and the earth, He spoke them into existence. When God created man, He formed him and breathed life into his nostril. But the woman was fashioned after God had already breathed the breath of life into the man. Hence, the woman is the last and best of all creations. The woman is very important.
Women play important roles in the home. As mothers, they help in the upbringing of their children and in the smooth running of the affairs of the family. Hence, a God-fearing, dedicated, Christian woman is an invaluable asset to her husband and family. A prayerful Christian woman is the neck on which the head of the husband rests and a veritable instrument in the upliftment of the family, church, and community. Throughout the Bible, we find God extending His expectations and roles of women from the home to the church and to the community. …
Woman must not and cannot claim equality with man because God did not create woman as man’s equal. Nor did He make us to be underdogs. God created woman as a helpmeet and companion.

Many women are not standing in their places of calling because of fear. Women should learn, know, and appreciate their positions in the inclusive plan of God for humankind.
